We are so lucky to be involved with the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation! Lisa, the Special Events Coordinator for JDRF Rochester Chapter, came to our studio to ask for our help!

We will be photographing 17 children in the Rochester area effected by Juvenile Diabetes to help raise money for their November 5th fundraising gala.

We've already photographed Max, a super cute and friendly child. He will be the main image on the event's invitation. He was so cute when he came in! He was a natural for the camera!

(We will be photographing his family in September, as they are an honorary family for the event)

Today I photographed Jonathan for his 3 year portraits. He was so much fun to photograph and so photogenic! Stephanie has the most beautiful children (4!) I can't wait to photograph the other (stay tuned for Sarah's session next) ones. He smiled the entire time, with the exception of a few sticking out his tongue shots:) Check out our facebook to see some more images... this is one of my favorites.

James

2009-07-18T10:38:00.000-07:00

Today I was lucky enough to photograph James. I photographed his Mom and Dad's wedding a couple of years ago, let's keep the tradition going! Thank you so much for letting me experiment with some new ideas, they came out great! I love this image because it is so unique and also captures James' personality in his Carhartts:) I have always loved photographing Meagen's family because she gives me complete freedom, which is amazing! I can't wait to see your reaction to the rest of the images.

Alex

2009-07-16T09:03:00.001-07:00

Happy Portrait Session Experience

2009-07-14T12:38:00.000-07:00

The Genesee Valley Parent Magazine had a great article about bad experiences with photographers... they suggested you ask your family and friends about their experiences by asking the following questions... We thought we would just cut to the chase and answer them for you...

If you'd like to read the full article, you can see it on-line by visiting http://www.gvparent.com/

There was an inset that mentioned to "Ask friends and family where they've had good portrait experiences; then use the phone or internet to get answers to the following questions:"I'm going to list the questions, and give my answers!!

1) Is a minimum number of poses required?
BabyLove: Never. If you do not like what we captured during the session, we will always be more than willing to do another session!

2) Are photographers patient, quick on the trigger, and adept at making children smile?BabyLove: We know it takes patience, practice, and laughter to have a successful portrait session. Your baby or child is going to run the session… after all it only takes a split second to get that perfect image.

3) Does the studio have a play area for use before and after the shoot?

BabyLove: We have a private changing room for you and your baby and or children with a changing table, extra wipes, and a basket of toys. For your review session you have a private room to view the images in so your baby can crawl, sit, play or eat…

4) Are fun props available?
BabyLove: Yes. We do prefer a more simple image that focuses on your baby or child and his or her personality. We use props, but we tend to use them pretty lightly unless you ask otherwise. We also love when you bring your own props in that are important to you and your baby.

5) Are backdrops quickly interchangeable and of high quality?
BabyLove: When you come in we will go through your outfits and figure out which outfits will look best. We will already have a few backgrounds set up prior to your arrival so your baby wont have to wait for anything.

6) What special effect options are available?
BabyLove: Our award-winning artistic director can do the basic conversions into black and white, sepia etc… but what she creates is art. Every image that she works on is different. She does not work with “actions,” she makes decisions based on what you want and what will look best for your particular image.

7) How much will this cost?
BabyLove: We have packages that are designed to fit everyone’s needs and budget. We have packages starting with two units (8x10, 5x7, or 8 wallets) and packages that include albums. We also have a NO-INTEREST PAYMENT PLAN option that allows you to break your payments into equal monthly payments so you get; Anything and Everything you want with a comfortable deposit and affordable monthly payments… all with no interest.

8) When will the portraits be ready for pick up?
BabyLove: You will come in for a review session about a week after your portrait session so we have time to create samples for you so you can see what is available. After you come in to your review session and place your order, we like to say your portraits will be ready within three weeks but… let’s be honest here… we know you want them sooner so we’ve been getting them back within a week and a half… we try our hardest to get you your portraits as soon as we can!

I hope you've found this information to be helpful - and if you have any other questions, don't hesitate to get in touch with me!

Kevin and Kyle

2009-07-02T10:25:00.000-07:00

I had so much fun photographing Kyle and Kevin. They were two completely boys, each so photogenic. I chose this portrait because I love how the brothers are interacting with each other and the vintage feel the block give. I can't wait to see mom's reaction to these images!

Baby Violet

2009-06-30T11:08:00.001-07:00

Baby Violet came in on Saturday for her first portrait session. She was a great model and so wide awake for being only 6 weeks. In this image she was photographed with her daddy. I love this image because he looks so happy and proud of his tiny baby. I can't wait to see his reaction to this image!

Talia's 6 month session

2009-06-30T11:02:00.000-07:00

I just finished photographing Talia's 6 month session. She is part of our Year-Love Series, where she is photographed at her 3m, 6m ,9m and 12m milestones. She was great! She has that type of face where she can smile, pout, and even cry and she still looks adorable! I can't wait for her mom and dad to see these images on Friday. It is so fun to see her grow up through the portraits we take here at BabyLove!
